Fall is upon us, although the weather doesn't quite match up.  The days are just as hot as this past summer, but at least the nights are cool, which means the house can cool off.

I made the mistake of working in the rental house yard on Friday and ended up with a mild case of heat stroke I think.  It was hot and I was working hard in the sun, and I'm not young anymore.  I was very wobbly, dizzy, headache, nausea, dry skin, and just generally felt awful.  I came home, had a shower, lay down in the basement and still didn't feel better.  Then I got cold and went upstairs to lay on my bed, with my fleece pyjamas on.  I couldn't sleep but I couldn't get up either, just lay there feeling crappy.

Finally after a few hours I felt a little better and had ice cream and toast for supper.

I'm feeling gun shy about being outside in the heat now, with still more work needed.  Slow down I guess.

Jack went to visit his grandma yesterday and stayed overnight so we had a little free time.  Hubby's sister and her husband came over for supper.  They're nice enough, but a couple of odd ducks.  They also both talk as much as Jack:)

I took Katie out for lunch today and she's doing well.  Her forehead skin as actually healed for the first time in what feels like years.  She has permanent scars on her forehead and usually has either an open wound or scabs.  She's happy, happy enough to not bang her head on the floor.  Big win.

The cleaners are still working on the house but the best news is that all the cat pee and poop have been cleaned up.  I may buy some sage and smudge the house before the new owners move in.

Otherwise, life goes on.  

Because the world needs more smiles right now.

  2. Were you pushing water while outside? Wearing a hat? Hats are critical. I've had what you had and it's awful. Nice that you have some time off from child rearing. I like the mileage chart, that was such a great song.
